Then they need to keep the pianos out of it.
Why even put a POS piano sample in a somewhat decent organ box. What purpose does that serve? Who knows.
EVERYTIME someone does this is goes south. One or the other of the sounds is a loss.
You can buy this nice Lexus but the radio sucks.
It's a good argument if your intent is not to ever turn the radio on and/or you don't mind shelling out another grand to get a radio.
Put a POS piano in the Electro and give the buyer the option to upgrade to something usable.
I'm sorry I don't read every post that comes out so therefore I probably deleted the stuff re: pianos in ELECTRO MECHANICAL CLONE DEVICES.

Chuck: you're barking up the wrong tree. It's called AN ELECTRO. It reproduces ELECTRO_MECHANICAL keyboards. The piano is not an electro-mechanical keyboard.
Of course, I've only been saying that for THREE FRIGGIN YEARS!!!!!

This raises another issue. What's the point of having the ability for mono but in reality mono from the piece sucks? This also means that the organ has an unpleasant sound and sucks mid-keyboard because I'm running it in mono? The pianos suck in Mono?
I don't buy that. It's not the stereo field that is the problem it's the sample on the piano. It's just plain bad.
AND I got to spring for another cabinet?
I'd rather drag the Motif and the XK3. I'm now back to hauling several pieces of gear.
It never ends....

I used my electro last night on a gig and I'm worried that the all-in-one
piece is not the Electro.
The pianos are horrid. After much tweaking I can't seem to get anything
remotely usable out of it and I'm dumbing down my standards. I've got a Casio
that has better piano sounds.
Are the piano downloads from the Nord site any better?
Is there some secret to getting a decent acoustic piano sound out of this
piece.
The organ sounds are lost in the middle of the keyboard. Also, a serious
problem.
They're fine in the upper register but they just disappear as I get lower on
the board.
I'm using a SRM 450 for a speaker.
I had high hopes for the Electro but so far it's been a piece of gear that I
personally don't find usable.
For my money it is a good piece of gear for someone who isn't real serious
about the kind of sound it produces and primarily wants a Hammond sound.
I guess I'm looking for some advice on some tweaks I'm missing.
For 1200.00 it's got to be better than this.
A very unhappy Nord customer.

....Wow...It's gotta be your amplification...or maybe you're running only
one side of the stereo chain into the SRM 450. I find the pianos to be fine
for R&B (not what I would use for solo classical piano), with a lot of bite to
them. The organs are awesome up and down the range...the Rhodes and Wurlies
are fine, and the Clavs are just as killer as the organs are. I had a
similar experience to that once, and I found that only one side of the stereo
signal was being amplified...into the mixer, and back out to the mono amplifier
fixed it right up !! AW
